Artesian

Artesian A beautifully renovated church turned intimate performance venue in Regina's Cathedral Neighbourhood. A reference to our local wellspring of talent.
(1)

Diction:
ar·te·sian (är-tee'zhan) - a confined aquifer containing groundwater that will flow upward through a well, called an artesian well, without the need for pumping. Inspiration:
Our involvement with local band The Lazy MKs, theatre groups like Curtain Razors and the Regina Fringe Festival and dance companies like New Dance Horizons helped us realize the demand for intimate spaces to showcase

original music and performance. So we had the idea of creating a venue for the wealth of local and regional talent. Restoration:
Built in 1950 and designed by Storey and Van Egmond(!), the Calvary Evangelical Church was built solid and sound. We have restored the beautiful yellow pine and fir windows, reopened the choir balcony, insulated the basement, removed outrageous electric blue shag carpet, and replaced the leaking steeple. New front doors were salvaged from Herchmer School and the performance theatre doors were saved from Marian High School. Fir beams, salvaged from grain elevators, form the structure of the new entrance. The foyer's tin ceiling was rescued from a turn-of-the-century commercial building in Wolseley, SK. You can find many repurposed treasures throughout the building. Destination:
Our long-term vision is to honor and encourage high-calibre talent with an appreciative, attentive audience. A creative space to go to when you want to hear every note in an originally-written song; experience every nuance of a playwright's work. We are committed to assisting the arts, music and culture communities cross-promote and build a larger audience. Join us in supporting our artists. Remember that we have an amazing community of talented musicians, dancers, performers, writers, filmmakers, and visual artists. Culture creates community.

Join us at the Artesian on Friday, June 26th at 8:00 pm to celebrate the release of Ellen Froese's new album 'Solitary Songs', with her band in tow! ⚡ Theresa Sokyrka will kick the night off right with a solo set 🤩

🎟 Get your tickets here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/ellen-froese-solitary-songs-album-release-show (or in person at Paper Umbrella)
📆 RSVP: Ellen Froese 'Solitary Songs' Album Release Show with special guest Theresa Sokyrka

'...[Froese is] deftly penning head-turning songs that invite the listener to let go of the things that are getting them down. It’s flirting with self-acceptance while indulging in a hearty spoonful of self-deprecation; it’s trying to be “happy in the confidence of a solitary song”; it’s getting your friends on board for some cheeky country-folk tunes. And nobody does those quite like Ellen Froese.'

📆 RSVP: Roman Clarke with special guest Lexy Desjarlais

Roman Clarke specializes in poignant, but funny lyrics on topics from love to money to the music business, paired with devastating grooves and soaring stacks of vocal harmonies. His high energy, unapologetically expressive music has earned him a die-hard cult following in his hometown of Winnipeg and across Canada. The live show is eye catching and exciting - he fronts an often large outfit from behind a drum set at the front of the stage.

What a beautiful week at Cathedral Village Arts Festival 💜

We love getting to be part of Cathedral Village Arts Festival every year. Seeing the Artesian filled with music, theatre, projections, conversation, radio, and community all week long reminded us how important festivals like this are for the city.

Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen, and to everyone who came out and shared it with us ✨ We’re excited to keep helping create more experiences like this in Regina.
